Roundtable with Alastair Cunningham on Outlook for the UK Economy

Alastair Cunningham discussed some important issues in the UK Economy before a packed audience at a roundtable discussion event held by our Leicester branch. He tried to find answers to important questions in economy such as,

Trading conditions: Have sales increased over the past year?

The economic data tracked in Head Office show an economy growing at around its normal rate - is that your experience?

What do we expect to happen over the coming year?

Credit availability: Is the availability of finance a major concern for the business? Are there other more pressing concerns?

Confidence: How would you describe the state of your confidence in business prospects?
